The WHO highlights a significant disparity in blood donation, with developing countries, comprising 82% of the global population, contributing only 39% of the world's blood supply. Addressing this gap requires promoting voluntary blood donation and understanding donor demographics. This study examines the demographic profile of blood donors in rural Uttar Pradesh (UP) from 2018 to 2023, analyzing data from 45,067 donors at UPUMS Blood Centre. Results show that 97.6% of donors were male, 73% were first-time donors and 87.9% were aged 18-34. Blood group distribution was "B" Positive (33.7%), followed by "O" Positive (29.4%), A Positive (26.3%) and "AB" Positive (10.6%) and 4% were Rh-ve. The findings suggest that strategies to engage women encourage repeat donations and target students and professionals could improve donor recruitment and retention.
世界卫生组织强调了献血方面存在的显著差异,占全球人口82%的发展中国家,其献血量仅占全球血液供应量的39%。解决这一差距需要促进自愿献血并了解献血者的人口统计学特征。本研究调查了2018年至2023年印度北方邦农村地区献血者的人口统计学特征,分析了北方邦医学科学大学血液中心45067名献血者的数据。结果显示,97.6%的献血者为男性,73%为首次献血者,87.9%的献血者年龄在18至34岁之间。血型分布为B型阳性(33.7%),其次是O型阳性(29.4%)、A型阳性(26.3%)和AB型阳性(10.6%),4%为Rh阴性。研究结果表明,鼓励女性参与、促进重复献血以及针对学生和专业人员的策略,可能会改善献血者的招募和留存情况。
